Linde
You where 10 minutes old
Maybe 15
Because everything took so long the good doctor decided to put you in an incubator to recuperate
Before you came I promised your mom to stay with you
The nurse covered you in a warm blanket and told me she would bring you to the incubator
I said "No no, Let me do that, just tell me where I have to be"
She did, and gave you in my arms
That was the first time I held you, and really felt you. I didn’t gave notice at that moment though
I carried you, for the first time in your life, trough a door witch closed behind me
I stood alone in a clearly lit but empty hallway. There was no one.
I walked...
You looked at me. Dark eyes, the colour different from now, where watching me and scanning the world around us.
That look
Daddy proud as a peacock
No one to witness us two
You and me, for the first time together alone
silent, clear hallway
the sound of footsteps
and those pretty eyes
that feeling girl
As long as you and I will live, I will never forget that feeling.
